FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Handball Spezial is a lifestyle trainer based on vintage court designs and does not provide the cushioning or support needed for running.

How should I clean the white stripes?

Use a damp cloth with a tiny amount of mild detergent or a dedicated sneaker cleaning wipe to gently remove dirt.

Do these shoes run true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the silhouette is naturally narrow.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather and suede materials.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed primarily from premium leather, featuring a suede toe cap.

Is the sole non-marking?

Yes, the classic gum sole is designed to be non-marking for indoor use.

Troubleshooting

Water spots on the suede toe cap

Let the suede dry completely naturally, then gently brush with a suede brush to restore the texture.

Creasing at the forefoot

This is normal with high-quality leather; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape.

Sole losing grip

Clean the gum sole with mild soapy water and a soft brush to remove dirt buildup that can cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Handball Spezial trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Pre-treatment: Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and leather before your first wear.
  2. Cleaning: Wipe the leather sections with a damp cloth. For the suede toe cap, use a soft-bristled suede brush to remove dust and lift the nap.
  3. Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most adults, though those with wider feet may find the narrow profile requires a slightly longer break-in period.
